“I picked the word ‘kolokolo’ because it is the root word of hoʻokolokolo, which is a word that is very important to describing legal terms in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language), such as the Hawaiian words for Judiciary (where I work) and to litigate in court.”

—Kori Weinberger, Hawaiian 201 student, Hawaiʻi Community College
